Novice traders can stop worrying because of the lack of programming experience - with the new Wizard, which allows you to generate Expert Advisor code, it is not necessary. The program will do all the work itself."

The MQL5 Wizard automates gathering all parts of the Expert together and automatically declares module parameters in the Expert according to their handles. When there is a great number of various modules involved, such automation saves a lot of time and routine operations."

"In MQL5 besides creation a new custom indicator from a scratch as described in the "MQL5: Create Your Own Indicator" article, you can write one on the basis of another indicator, in-built in the client terminal or a custom one. There are two ways: first is to improve an indicator, add new calculations and plots (this variant applies only to the custom indicators that have open source code), second way is to use an indicator in-built in the terminal or to use an existing custom indicator via the iCustom() or IndicatorCreate() functions."
